The Discrepancies of Freemasonry Examined During a Week's Gossip with the Late Celebrated Brother Gilkes and Other Eminent Masons, on Sundry Obscure and Difficult Passages in the Ordinary Lodge Lectures Which, Although Open Questions in Grand Lodge, Constitute a Source of Doubt and Perplexity to the Craft

John Hogg & Co. London. 1875, First Edition. Hardcover, with dust jacket. 336 pages (complete). A genial copy. The green boards have wear all about from shelving and storage. Pressed gilt decoration (a little worn). The boards have scuffing, marks, rubbing. They are steady and sure. The contents are benign. The half-title page has a pencilled annotation marking its ownership at the Grand Lodge in Cape Town. The early and later pages have blotches of foxing. The subsequent pages have occasional smears, smudges of foxing here and there, but the text of the book remains unaffected. The contents are comfortable, certain, confident, clean and clear, convivial. fk. Very Good/No Jacket.
